Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of HotSpot Silicone Pot Holder, RedCustomer Review: You Have to Buy This Thing Summary: 5 Stars
You have to have some sort of pot holder to carry hot pots and pans from the oven or stove to somewhere else. Having worked in restaurants, I was always trained to have a clean, dry towel tucked into my apron; I was not allowed to do anything with it except carry hot pots and pans around the kitchen.
I started in my home kitchen with a collection of various fabric pot holders. Problem: after a few days they get really dirty and full of germs, so you wash them. Then, you take them out of the dryer and they literally fall apart. So, I just keep an extra dry towel in the kitchen to serve as a pot holder. Yeah, right; it gets used like every other towel lying around, and it is rarely clean and dry when you need it.
I got 2 of these as a present (one red, one blue), and boy do I love these things. They are basically rubber-like, so you can wash every day along with all of the dirty dishes. This way, when you grab something and a corner of the pot holder dips into your food, you are safe since (at least in theory) you have washed the pot holder recently and it is still nice and clean and sanitary. Also, you can hold a blazing hot pan for much longer before the heat gets to your hand; as long as a full minute.
The only thing I do not like about these things is that they are rather stiff. So, when you put one into your hand to grab something hot, you have think for a few seconds about positioning the silicon correctly, unlike a towel that you quickly and without thinking wrap around your hand and grab. But the sanitary nature of this thing trumps that irritation, and I think that everyone should trash their pot holders and get these things.
